Sprint iPhone 4S, no delays?

[Eli4S]

I am seeing that Verizon is having some delay problems, or that may be a glitch. I ordered mine around 6pm on 10/7 and it still says to be delivered on 10/14, anyone experiencing a 10/21 delay? Is the cutoff only for Verizon? Sorry if this is redundant.

Read this. It talks about the delays

No sign (yet) of backorder from Sprint. I got my order in quite early though.

 

[eve6er69]

yup, like most carriers and also the apple store the site crashed the day of the release but not a peep as far as backorders with sprint

 

[DreamOutLoud65]

yep, nothing from sprint saying of any kind of delay.. Just wish I would get the shipping email from them..

Check Sprint | Check Your Order Status and enter your order number. I haven't gotten the shipping email yet, but I found the tracking number there.

 

[mobile79]

Yeah, I got my tracking number just within the last hour on Sprint.

 

[Eli4S]

Anyone order through Apple for Sprint? Mine still says preparing for shipment, delivery date 10/14. Am I supposed to be receiving an email from sprint and apple with a tracking number? Or just one or the other? Thanks in advance.

When did you pre-order the phone?

Same here!

I called to see if they could give me the new number for that line and the guy I spoke with did say that if you were in, before they started listing any as OOS, then no delays are expected.

You should be getting an email from the site you ordered it from.

I just pre-ordered a 32GB today and my confirmation email says it will be delivered 14th or 15th like everyone else...hoping I will see it earlier though.

 

[DreamOutLoud65]

that's interesting.. ^ I could of sworn they (apple, carriers) were sold out completely of the pre orders.

 

[mobile79]

When did you pre-order the phone?

It was about 10am mountain time on Friday.

I have been like crazy.. no tracking number yet. I ordered mine about 8hrs into the pre order sale.

For real?! I ordered 7:30a CST... I still have not received a tracking number.

 

[EmceeGeek]

i already have my tracking info from sprint, says ups 2nd day air.

Yeah, I've never understood how all this shipping business works. But, Sprint is being very careful about making it clear that just because there is a tracking number assigned, it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to ship out "today". In the shipping email I received, the following statement shows up under my tracking number:

Please note: If you pre-ordered an iPhone, your device is waiting to be shipped. Excluding extreme circumstances, we will do our best to get it to you Friday, October 14 or Saturday, October 15. Your tracking number included above may not be updated until Friday, October 14. Questions? Visit sprint.com/preorder

Soon we all will have our phones

When I ordered mine, it just ran out on the sprint site, literally seconds, so I went to apple and they still had them, therefore I should be in the clear, I mean it still says 10/14.
